Types of Forex currency pairs

Currency pairs - two currencies between which trade transactions are carried out on the market.

The relationship of currencies in a pair depends on the rate. So, the base currency is the one that is bought or sold. In the designation of a currency pair, the base currency is always indicated first. Quote currency - the way in which the price of the base currency is expressed. In the designation of a currency pair, the quoted currency is always indicated as the second one.

Currency pairs are divided into groups according to profitability and volatility. Roughly speaking - by popularity.

Majors.
Currency pairs in which the US dollar participates, and the second currency is the national currency of highly developed countries.
Cross-courses.
Currency pairs in which the ratio of currencies is determined by their rate in relation to a third currency (usually the same - the dollar).
Exotic.
Currency pairs in which the dollar (or euro) and national currencies of developing countries are related.
Exotic pairs are among the most difficult to trade as they have low liquidity. The volume of transactions for these pairs is relatively small. Beginners are not advised to work with them.
